TiT!!!

I think some kiddy has ddos their Activation server, lol.

All is good it just took me 2 hours of trying to activate the fucker ..server must be getting cained

I have no problem at all, I have the xbox 360 version.

Saw this via digg:

Mine arrived yesterday and it's not working here either. This is shitting me off, I can't play my game. Has anyone bought it and managed to get through the activation process?

at what point does the activation take place? during the install process, or after you've installed and when you're firing the game up for the first time?

ta

It's after, when you try to launch it. I've been trying on and off since yesterday.
Apparently the activation servers have been up and down, but there's no way to know what's really going on from the game itself.

sweet, ta. just writing a thing about it and just making sure I know what's happening so I don't sound like a douche

dais - how long since you actually paid money for it have you been waiting to play?

Well, I preordered over the net, but it arrived yesterday afternoon. I would say 24hrs and it still ain't working.

geez poor bioshock cant get a break can it? first people going apeshit over widescreen problems now activation issues? i regretted ordering the 360 version when i saw how well it ran on my pc but now im glad. either way its well worth the issues to get it running. its brilliant

It finally worked :]

I put my bioshock dvd into my xbox and it just ran ... what's all this activation rubbish? :D
